Clear learning objectives and takeaways for attendees
Opportunities for participant engagement
Contribution of new topics, perspectives, approaches, or voices to the overall conference program

Bringing New Voices and Topics to BHC

As the Behavioral Health Conference continues to evolves, we are intentionally working to introduce attendees to new voices, topics, and areas of expertise.

Presenters who have participated in the Behavioral Health Conference within the past two years are welcome to submit a proposal. However, priority consideration will be given to new presenters and to proposals that introduce new topics, approaches, research, or perspectives that have not recently been featured at the conference.

Returning presenters are encouraged to submit proposals that meaningfully differ from sessions they have previously presented.
